Thanks for the explanation!

To keep this posting on-topic, I have a couple of questions and requests
concerning the next version of CSTal.

I very much miss some of the features from the DOS version, especially the
possibility of modifying the style of play, creating new opening books and
playing blindfold games.  Is there any hope that these features will be
included in CSTal III?

Is the style file on the Oxford Softworks your most recent style, or do
you have a newer and better style?  If yes, could you please mail me your
newest style file (or better yet, convince Chris to put it on the Web site)?

I would also like to express my hope that Mikhail Tal will no longer be
described as a "Russian world champion" or "Russian grandmaster" in the
next version.  Tal was not a Russian!  (Use "Soviet grandmaster" or "Latvian
grandmaster", please!)
